The Hazard Of Social Media by Falaju Temitope

TOPIC : THE HAZARD OF SOCIAL MEDIA

(2go
facebook eskimi skype whatsapp
twitter etc.) ON STUDENTS(sec schl
students) Social network is social
structure made
up of individuals who are connected by
one or more specific of
interdependency, such as friendship,
kinship, common interest, financial
exchange, dislike, sexual relationship
etc.
The growth and popularity of social
networking platforms and websites
such
as 2go, facebook, twitter etc having
millions of users, are exponentially
increasing every day.
Research put it
that a total population of 30% of 20
million and 500 million Nigeria user in
2go and facebook respectively.
I want to submit to you that Social
networks such as 2go, facebook,
twitter,
myspace etc despite it's positive gain
also comes with its negative side
especially other Nigeria students.
Recently i read in the Nations
newspaper how students were posting
nude pictures on 2go.
Not quite long,
the West African Examination Council
announced that the year result
recorded
a mass failure.
Social network has affected student
spelling library. 2go like other social
networks has its own language usage
to
communicate faster.
For instance, you
have to shortened so many words to
pass across your intent. Example is lol -
laughing out loud, lols for lots of love,
OMG- oh my God.
This has affected
student's spelling.
The Social network like 2go mainly as
also affected students' grammar and
communication skill.
They also omit
pronouns, prepositions and some other
parts of speech.
Example is hw u?
Which
would mean "how are you?" and a lot
are more.
This omission of part of
speech in 2go has seriously affected
the
students' grammar. Because larger
percent of Nigeria students use most of
their time chatting on 2go, they
become
accustom to this language errors and
eventually tell on their results.
Another thing that affect student mass
failure is the sacrificing of study hour
for
socializing.
Since majority of the
Nigeria
students spend their time on 2go, they
hardly read.

Eyes straining has also become a
commonly reported problem among
students due to the time spent on
focusing.

This is detrimental to the future of this
country Nigeria.
Should we say social networks like 2go
be scrapped considering the
advantages ?

Should there be introduction of policies
that we put a restriction on age and
academic level if possible?

How can socializing on 2go, facebook
be
done in such away that it will not affect
lives, exam results and the nation as a
whole?

This current trend, if unchecked may
affect the collapsing education system
of
the country.

What do you think?

I will like to hear your response on this matter.
